Florence is a beautiful city to visit, most of all for its collection of Renaissance art and
architecture. However, while astounding to see, that art leaves some visitors feeling sick.
This illness is referred to as Stendhal syndrome. It can cause tourists to experience rapid
heartbeats, dizziness, hallucinations, and 51 . The symptoms can be so 52 that
a person may in fact need to be hospitalized. The illness is not 53 recognized, but
occurrences have been recorded and it is believed to be related to Florence’s art.
Florence is a 54 compact city with an abundant collection of artwork. During
the Renaissance, Florence was 55 while many other places in Europe were still
trying to recover from the wars and diseases of the Middle Ages. As such, the city has
some of the greatest artworks of that particular time period and is an 56 destination
for its cultural offerings. One person who described being 57 by this display of
artwork was French author Stendhal, after whom the disorder is named. Though he wrote
of his experience in the 1800s, the name was not 58 until the late 1970s by an
Italian psychiatrist. Luckily, this disorder requires nothing other than some rest and quiet.
Within a few days of coming down with this ailment, patients will improve.
V. Reading Comprehension (14 %)
Sarajevo is the political, financial, social and cultural center of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and a prominent center of culture in the Balkans.
Due to its long, rich and prosperous history of religious and cultural diversity,
Sarajevo is sometimes called the "Jerusalem of Europe" or "Jerusalem of the Balkans". It
is one of only a few major European cities to have a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox
church and synagogue within the same neighborhood. Sarajevo has attracted international
attention several times throughout its history. In 1885, Sarajevo was the first city in
Europe and the second city in the world to have a full-time electric tram network running
through the city, following San Francisco. In 1914, it was the site of the assassination of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by local Young Bosnia activist Gavrilo Princip that
triggered World War I.
Later, Sarajevo, SFR Yugoslavia, hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics, marking a
prosperous era for the city. It was the first Winter Olympic Games held in a socialist
state and in the Balkans. However, the city suffered the longest siege of a capital city in
the history of modern warfare during the Bosnian War and the breakup of Yugoslavia, for
1,425 days, from April 1992 to February 1996.
Sarajevo has been undergoing post-war reconstruction, and is the fastest growing
city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The travel guide series Lonely Planet has named
Sarajevo as the 43rd best city in the world, and in December 2009 listed Sarajevo as one
of the top ten cities to visit in 2010. In 2011, Sarajevo was nominated to be the 2014
European Capital of Culture and in 2019, it hosted the European Youth Olympic Festival.

HOUSTON, TEXAS — Through glass windows, I can see rocks and trays of dirt that
Apollo astronauts brought to Earth decades ago. But my tour guides here at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center are firm: Nobody touches the moon rocks!
I’ve spent years looking at cosmic rocks from a distance. My childhood involved lots
of stargazing through a telescope. My lab job in college involved processing pictures of
Mars. So this trip is a big deal for me, and, today, the opportunity feels as close as it is
unlikely.
Before entering this clean room, I remove all of my jewelry. My guides and I cover
our shoes with blue paper booties and step into full-body jumpsuits. Their zippers go
from navel to neck. Snaps close openings at the ankles, wrists and throat. After we put on
neoprene gloves and a hair cover, we pull up a pair of knee-high boots over the blue
booties. Finally, we spend a full minute standing in a phone booth–sized air shower,
clearing us of any lingering dust.
Inside the clean room, I face another barrier: The rocks are stored in secure,
pressurized cabinets. They look like big terrariums, in this case filled with pure nitrogen.
The only way to reach the samples is by sticking already-gloved hands into another set of
gloves that wave from the cabinets like zombie arms. To pick up an Apollo rock, sample
processor Charis Krysher explains that one must either use stainless steel tweezers or
slide the fingers into a third set of gloves made of Teflon.
These priceless samples, including 382 kilograms of rocks, core samples, pebbles,
sand and dust, were lifted from the moon during the six Apollo landings between 1969
through 1972. They are still offering fresh details about how the moon evolved.
62. Where would you most probably find this piece of writing?
(A) An online shop for precious stones.
(B) A magazine of earth science.
(C) A management magazine.
(D) A biology journal.
63. What brought the author to this place?
(A) To see how a chemistry lab works.
(B) To observe what is happening in the center.
(C) To take a look at rare materials from another planet
(D) To compare the stones and do some research
64. According to the 2nd paragraph, where did the author probably work?
(A) An electrical engineering office.
(B) A higher educational institution.
(C) A space center for young children.
(D) The customer service department in a company.
65. What would the author like to tell us in the 3rd and the 4th paragraphs?
(A) All harmful substances are kept out of this place.
(B) They provide free access to their data.
(C) There is no budget limit to this base.
(D) Only certain stones are on sale.
